Quite bad. (content warning?)

It's been a regularly bad week, until family drama jumped to 1000%, ending in quasi-forced hospitalization of my last family member. Now I've been left in charge of the whole house, including cleaning up the mess they've left behind, plus several cats, with a really bad back that makes me run (heh, if only) back to bed —where I'm right now— after every few things that I manage to do, and I would really want to avoid switching to opioids (had my bad experience with them already). Work prospects are still slim, even remote, and I honestly don't know what I'll do if they don't manage to get out of this one, or how to take care of them if they do. They likely won't want to go to assisted living or a nursing home, and those are kind of above budget anyway. Working out some numbers on my end, my disability check doesn't cover even half the minimum expenses, much less paying off any debts. I guess there is still some stuff I could sell, but after that the shadow of homelessness looms ominously in the mid term, unless I manage to get something going on (which, ironically, could leave me without the disability check). Not being able to do even some side/hobby projects, is additionally getting to me, I miss typing on an actual keyboard, using some power tools, getting on a bike, and a thousand other little things.
